The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
node-superfetch
Advanced tools
A wrapper for Node.js' fetch API that makes it appear like superagent.
node-superfetch is a tiny little wrapper for Node.js' fetch API that makes it look like you are using superagent.
const request = require('node-superfetch');
try {
const { body } = await request.get('https://registry.npmjs.com/node-superfetch');
console.log(body);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
Usage is basically that of superagent or snekfetch, and implements the same HTTP
methods, as well as functions like query
(sets query parameters), set
(sets
headers), send
(for adding POST data and such), attach
(for sending
FormData), redirects
(for setting the allowed number of redirects), and
agent
(for setting the HTTP agent). end
is also supported for callbacks.
Additionally, you can also use the noResultData
option to get everything
except the actual result data of the request. This is essentially doing the
request without calling any methods to parse the result data.
const { headers, url } = await request.get('https://registry.npmjs.com/node-superfetch', { noResultData: true });
console.log(url); // should log https://registry.npmjs.com/node-superfetch
